A Week in Tokyo – Cost Breakdown and Thoughts

Posted on September 27, 2024September 27, 2024 by CD

First of all – this wasn’t a regular trip. The reason for the trip was for the teacher training but halfway through the training, I realized that the company was a bad fit for me. We parted ways amiably and not only did they pay me for the training days I attended, but the few…

Posted on September 25, 2024 by CD

My grandmother used to say “Boring people get bored” and I have to admit, I may have become a boring person because I am abored as fuck with tourism. At my house or anywhere I live, I don’t particularly get bored as I can usually find something to do but in a city that seems…

Posted on December 26, 2022 by CD

The tricky part of traveling with my eleven-year-old daughter is finding ways to make it fun for both of us. I wasn’t going to keep us in the Narita Airport Crowne Plaza longer than I had to, so I’d booked us into Annex Katsutaro Ryokan in the old Nippori and Yanaka section of Arakawa City…

A Father/Daughter Trip to Japan – December 2022 – Part 1

Posted on December 23, 2022 by CD

I love Japan. I’ve only spent a little bit of time here – but in that short period, I’ve learned that it offers everything I want from a place. The landscapes, the cities, the food, the people and culture, the technology, and much more. I’ve said it before – if Japan were the first country…
